The 4.5-inch handset is not meant to compete with high-end phones like the LG G Pro 2, but instead is after the mid-range market. Not only does the LG F70 offer the best of LTE technology, its hardware and UX are also best-in-class, Dr Jong-seok Park, LG Mobile's CEO, said. LG's making LTE the highlight of this handset, bringing it customers on the cheap.

The LG F70 and LG F90 also has LG's Knock Code feature, which allows users to power on and unlock their LG smartphone in one easy step by tapping a personalised pattern on the phone’s screen - even if it's off. LG had previously announced this feature for all of its mid-range handset.
